22、terrupted creep-testing of stranded conductors for overhead lines such as those specified by IEC 61089. Procedures for interpreting the results are also included. The object of the test is principally to calculate creep for any purpose and to compare creep of different conductors. The requirement of
23、 this standard aims at an accuracy of 1%. However, it should be recognized that due to variations occurring in the manufacturing process, the creep obtained in the test is not a precise value for all conductors of the type tested. 2 Normative reference The following normative document contains provi
24、sions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the edition indicated was valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements made on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate
25、 the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

26、is International Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 sample length total length of the conductor between the end fittings 3.2 gauge length distance of the conductor over which the creep is measured 3.3 test temperature mean temperature taken at the three pre-specified positions along the
27、gauge length or, when more than three measuring positions are used, the mean temperature taken at equal distances along the gauge length 3.4 test load constant load acting on the conductor during the test NOTEThis causes the permanent time dependent elongation known as creep. 3.5 loading time time r
28、equired either from preload when preload is applied to test load or from no load to test load 3.6 duration of test time span between reaching test load and the end of the test 3.7 creep test machine complete equipment by means of which the conductor sample is tensioned during the test 3.8 end fittin
29、g hardware that maintains the electrical and/or the mechanical continuity of the conductor 4 Units, instrumentation and calibration Units of the International System of Units (SI-units) shall be used. To ensure traceable accuracy of the test, calibration records of all instruments used in the test s
30、hall be kept. The equipment shall be calibrated in accordance with nationally recognized standards. Where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration shall be documented. 5 Sample selection and preparation 5.1 Sample selection The sample shall be taken at least 20m from the end of the co
31、nductor on the drum. It shall be undamaged during removal and preparation. At least three strong hoseclips shall be placed on both ends of the sample to prevent interlayer movement, before it is cut from the drum. The minimum sample length between the end fittings shall be: 100 d + 2 a where 100 d i
32、s the minimum gauge length; d is the conductor diameter; a is the distance between the end fitting and the gauge length. a a These minimum specifications are only correct when the ends are placed in resin.EN61395:1998 4 BSI 04-1999 The distance, a, shall be at least 25% of the gauge length or 2m whi
33、chever is the smaller. The total length cut from the conductor shall include the necessary length to provide for the grips at the two ends of the sample. Figure 1 shows a typical set-up. The sample and the gauge lengths have been chosen with due weight being given to the greater accuracy with which
34、creep tests are conducted in comparison with tensile tests. Once the sample has been taken from the drum, it shall be kept as straight as possible. If this is impractical the following procedure shall be adopted. a) Twice the sample length shall be removed from the drum, and the central part shall b
35、e used as the sample length. b) When recoiling for transportation, a coil diameter of1,5m minimum shall be used. 5.2 Sample preparation End fittings, such as low melting point metals and resin bonding etc., attached to test samples shall not allow slippage or interlayer movement. These end fittings
36、shall be installed when the strands of the conductor are concentric. Where grease is applied to the conductor, the part of the conductor which is held in the grips shall be degreased prior to the installation of the end fittings. 6 Temperature and temperature variations The conductor temperature sha
37、ll be measured in the middle and at both ends of the gauge length, during the test. The measuring devices shall be in good contact with the conductor sample and be insulated against the effects of air movements outside the conductor. If not otherwise specified, the temperature of the test shall be 2
38、0C. 6.1 Temperature variations Conductor temperature variation along the gauge length shall be less than 2,0C. Conductor temperature variation during the test shall be less than 2,0C. It is important to ensure that greater deviations than those stated above do not take place. A means of continuously
39、 monitoring the air or conductor temperature is recommended. 6.2 Accuracy of temperature measuring devices The accuracy of the equipment used for temperature measurements shall be within 0,5C. The accuracy of the temperature measuring device used on the gauge length shall be clearly stated in the te
40、st report. The method used for temperature control and measurement shall also be fully documented. Figure 1 Typical creep test arrangementEN61395:1998 BSI 04-1999 5 6.3 Temperature compensation Temperature variations shall be compensated, either by using a thermal reference with the same coefficient
41、 of thermal expansion as the sample, called reference bars in Figure 1, or by using a thermocouple reference. In the latter case, the strain variation is calculated and subtracted from the elongation measurements. Three temperature measuring devices are used, the accuracy of which shall be within 0,
42、5C. It shall be clearly understood that the temperature compensation is to reduce the scatter in the measurement arising from the length change of the conductor sample due to thermal elongation only. The effect of temperature change on the creep rate cannot be compensated. 7 Load 7.1 Test load The a
43、ccuracy of the test load shall be within 1% or 120N whichever is the greater. Load cells shall be used during the test. 7.2 Strain measurement The accuracy and the set up of the strain measuring device shall be sufficient to determine the conductor sample strain to the nearest5 10 6 . The measuring
44、devices may be of any suitable type such as micrometer dial gauges, low voltage displacement transducers or optical systems. Uncontrolled rotation during the test, especially of long samples may take place and shall be avoided or compensated for. 8 Test procedure The sample prepared in accordance wi
45、th the procedure described in clause5 shall be placed in the creep test machine. Some machines may require a preload in order to attach the strain measuring devices. In such cases a preload of up to 2% of the rated tensile strength of the conductor may be allowed. Prolonged period at preload shall b
46、e avoided in order not to influence the shape of the creep curve. Usually not more than 5min at preload can be accepted. The loading time shall be 5min 10s. The loading should be applied evenly up to the test load, without overload. Where it is necessary to load in steps, incremental steps shall not
47、 be greater than 20% of the test load 1) . When step loading is utilised, care should be taken to ensure that the area under the load graph (in a stress versus time diagram) equals that of the straight line from preload or zero load to the test load. The load shall be kept constant during the durati
48、on of the test. 2) 9 Data acquisition Creep and conductor temperature measurements shall be taken from the moment the full load is applied, i.e. at the end of the 5min allowed for the loading time. Thereafter, conductor temperature and readings to calculate the creep elongations shall be evenly spac
49、ed on the logarithmic time scale 3) . The number of these readings shall be at least three in each interval, with ten times increase of the time. The first reading corresponds to zero time and creep. The second reading, which is the first value of the creep, shall be taken not later than0,02h after the first reading. When a thermocouple reference is used for the temperature compensation, readings of elongation and temperature shall be made at the same moment. The duration of the test shall be at least 1000h, which would pred
